and provide a hard smooth coat for the surface.

Another object of the invention is to provide a combined varnish and cleaner, which can beused as a polish, for furniture and 'These ingredients are all mixed together 2 in the proportions mentioned, which will make substantially five pints of the im-.

proved varnish. p

The ingredients combine together to form a varnish, which will behard and transparent, and which will quickly dry and act as a cleaner on the surface on which it is used. 7

If it ,is desired to color the varnish it is merely necessary to add the desired coloring matter thereto.

The-linseed oil acts as a preserver for the surface and as a vehicle for the varnish, the

5 turpentine and drier act as a drying agent for the varnish, while the salicylate soda acts a cleaner for the surface and blends the Application filed January 23, 1923. Serial No. 614,485.

entire composition together in a way that will not corrode or leave any settling.

The powdered English rosin acts as a coating for the surface to which the varnish is applied and will quickly dry and the ether and the alcohol combine together to disintegrate and reduce the rosin to a fluid state. The ether also acts as a penetrating, cleaning, and drying element which is also true of the wood alcohol. I

When it is desired to use the improved varnish, the same is applied to a cloth which is rubbed over the surface to be cleaned and the dirt on the surface is loosened by the varnish and removed with the cloth, after which a dry cloth is used for further removing any particles of dirt and the like. The varnish is now left to dry which will form a hard protecting coat.v

The improved varnish, owing to the nature thereof can also be effectively used as a furniture polish and will clean the furniture, as the same is applied.

Changes in details may be made as to the exact proportions of the ingredients used.

What I claim as new is;-

1. A hard transparent cleaning and quick dryingvarnish comprising powdered English rosin, sodium salicylate, ether, a drier, and a drying oil vehicle for said ingredients;

2. A hard transparent cleaning and quick drying varnish comprising powdered English rosin, turpentine, ether, sodium salicylate, alcohol, a drier, and a linseed oil vehicle.

3. A hard transparent cleanin and uick drying varnish comprising boile linsee oil,

japan drier, sodium salic late, powdered English rosin, turpentine, a cohol, and ether. 4. A varnish comprising one pint of boiled linseed oil, one pint of japan drier, three ounces of soduim salicylate, one pound of powdered English rosin, one pint of turpentine, one pint of wood alcohol, and two ounces of ether.

In testimony whereof I STEPHEN stresses?
